ATT Tilt / Kaiser: camera won't record video after romflash

[Kaze0110]

I had bought a stock ATT tilt, and had since followed the well written directions and have successfully flashed a different rom onto it using the

"Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid V2_1_65.14.06[CubeV2]"


Problem being, after installing it, I cannot get the video recorder out of the camera to successfully encode .mp4, or .3gp. It encodes the audio fine though, so the audio stream isn't broken, but somewhere along the way the video stream is corrupted.

I've done the best I can with my computer background, but I think this boils down to some easy simple solution, that I just can't fathom without the prior expertise.

Long story short, How do I trouble shoot this? Is there a registry location that I can assign a different mp4 & 3gp encoder, or did I corrupt the install, and have to nuke, and try again?

no expert in the field either, but maybe try a different radio version

The radio just covers the broadcast from the phone to the cell tower.

This is an encoding problem from the camera to the file. Somehow the driver/codec/whatever that is encased in the camera executable is improperly encoding the video stream.

The radio does not only cover the phone transmission. The Camera, GPS, and several aspects of the phone are controlled by the radio ROM.

That being said, how long ago did you purchase your Tilt? There is another thread on here that discusses certain newer ROMs and their incompatibility with the camera on newer "7201" Tilts.

Go to Start -> Settings -> Device Information -> Hardware and see if you CPU is listed as Qualcomm 7200 or 7201.

I had purchased this tilt approximately 1 month ago, and the processor lists it as a "qualcomm 7200".

Could you possibly recommend me to a rom which I should flash into it?

[Kaze0110]

Well I just upgraded the radio rom to the one listed in your sig I believe it was called "neon".

So my Radio version just went from 1.65.14.06 --> 1.58.25.17.

No change. So I suppose I'll upgrade the complete rom to the one specified in your signature, and we'll see how this goes.

Here is the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387057) about the camera issues. I would check this out for any possible solutions.

I am running Dutty's newest Diamond build, and was just recently running on shogunmark's Death v3.5 ROM. Both of these work without any camera issues.

On second thought, I seem to remember one of the newer cooked ROMs actually causing the CPU to show as a 7500 (which is the model with 3D acceleration), even though we know for a fact that the phone actually has a 7200 CPU.

If you continue to have issues after checking out the above thread, I would flash back to your ship ROM and see if the CPU still shows as a 7200.

Well I'd already swapped over to [June 02] L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V5 (Hybrid 3.29.707) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396882)

And now the processor indicates it as a 7201, and the camera works fine.

So all seems well I suppose, just an incompatibility issue that was never addressed.
Ahh well, all seems fine enough for now at least.

Good to see you got it solved.
